Lawn Fawn Hey There – Two Takes

Hello! Today, I am sharing two cards of the same design featuring Lawn Fawn stamps and dies. I had some time this past weekend to break out my Copic markers and colored pencils, so I colored lots of critters!

Lawn Fawn Hey There Lawn Fawn Hey There

  • I stamped, Copic colored, and added color pencil to the cute critters from the Lawn Fawn Hey There set and cut them with their corresponding die cuts.
  • I created frames for the critters with the Mini Picture Frames dies. The white backgrounds were dry-embossed with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from Stampin Up’.
  • I popped the critters up with foam adhesive in their frames.
  • I created the backgrounds with the Quilted Backdrop.
  • I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it with the banner die (twice).

Thanks for dropping by!

CAS Geometric Die-cut Birthday Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS birthday card created with dies. I have been looking at quilt patterns lately. I don’t quilt, but it’s a craft I have considered taking up. Although this card isn’t quilt-themed, I used color and repetition (used a lot in quilting) in its design.

  • For the background, I cut white cardstock with the Lil’ Inker Designs 4.25″ square die and dry-embossed the square with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from Stampin Up’.
  • I cut the My Favorite Things Block Happy Birthday sentiment from Stampin Up’ cardstock and adhered the letters to the square with glue.
  • I used a now retired Avery Elle die to cut the rounded diamond shapes from Stampin Up’ colored cardstock. I cut the shapes in the corners in half. I adhered the pieces to the card base with Scotch Dot Roller adhesive.

Frog-themed Birthday Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a card created for a special crafty friend who likes frogs. She customizes her handmade cards based on the recipients’ interests, professions, etc. and the ideas that she has shared sound amazing. I had been mulling over different winter birthday ideas (such as Happy BRRRthday) but threw them out the window and went with the frog theme instead.

I figured if you like frogs, the more the merrier! I used patterned paper from my stash for the background within the Avery Elle Photo Mat as well as for the card base. The MFT sentiment is not from a birthday set, but I thought it would be a fun one to use.

Love You – Die-Cut Valentine

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS die-cut Valentine’s Day card featuring the Baby Envelope Die with a sentiment cut from the Miss Your Swirl die set.

Love You - Die-Cut Valentine

I created the background with patterned paper from my stash to which I added a vellum circle in the center. I wanted to quiet the pattern so that the sentiment would be more visible.

I glued the assembled envelope to the circle and then added the letters and the hearts (cut with the Gingerbread Boy die set).
